yonkers westchester, NY

When I was first diagnosed they had me on a lot of different inhalers, spriva was one of them, I for some reason stopped using that and stay on Symbicort with a duoneb (albuterol and budisonide) one montelukast tablet and everything else is just tumeric, ginger, and hot teas...I use other things that you will have to PM me if you want that information...you can find me on facebook Best of luck. Try being your best support system and very proactive especially with this so called Pandemic. We've already buried one family member he never made it to 58 yrs of age...

Old form of bringing up mucus ans I have had the same problem having pneumonia with sepsis this past 2 weeks. (hadn't coughed in 2 years.).....Lay on your bed on your stomach and hang your head over the side. This pushed the mucus up and out without as much energy being exerted. Comes up much fast. Old nurse told me this week. If only our doctors had this they'd know more of what worked.. Of course I would not wish this on anyone. It's horrid...We will survive.. God willing. Pray it through.

yes-its been 3 weeks now and i can definitely say its an improvement over the dry powder-my coughing has finally stopped and im wheezing a lot less-i can feel the spray and im breathing much better-now back to the gym and trying to lose about 40 pounds and i will be able to climb the 4 flights to my apartment without stopping on every floor-wishing you and my other team mates the best of health
